Trop Tard

Dans une langue qui ne m'appartient pas j'essaie d'y mettre la lune entière son sourire à plein dents et sa lumière douce les mots me semblent creux et pourtant en chacun d'eux, une étoile filante mes espoirs, tous gris, tracés, brulants quittant ce corps courbaturé un rêve s'échappe coincé cherchant un oreiller où se poser celui de ton regard qui ne m'a jamais quitté comment le retrouver sans devoir fermer mes paupières --TRANSLATION-- In a language that doesn't belong to me I am trying to place the moon It's full toothed smile and it's soft light The words seem hollow and yet in each of them is a shooting star my hopes, all in grey, traced, burning leaving this sore body a dream escapes stuck searching for a pillow to rest upon the one that is your gaze that never left me How to find it again without having to close my eyes?

French is my second language. I suppose I should translate them myself so other readers can also enjoy. Thanks for reading and commenting!
